What agents can do

Set what each agent can do in every chat.

Each chat gets one of three levels: Off, Read, or Full use. Anything not allowed is denied.

Off
No access
The agent can't see the chat or that it exists.
Read
Read-only
The agent can read the messages in that chat. It can't post or change anything.
Full use
Post and reply
The agent can post and reply to messages in that chat.

Some actions stay off until explicitly turned on

Each one removes messages or people for good, so it could override the limits set on individual chats.

Set up & manage

Connect once. Manage everyone from there.

Connect once, then control access person by person. No new keys to hand out.

Step 1 · Set up

Connect once, company-wide

An admin connects your company's Telegram a single time and chooses which chats it covers. Any chat left out stays out of reach for every agent.

Step 2 · Manage

Control access per person and agent

From one dashboard, set what every person and their agents can reach. Change it any time, with no new keys for anyone.

Monitor activity

The security model

Top-tier security.

Bollard AI is access control for AI agents. It sits between your agents and Telegram, so they never hold your Telegram keys and never reach Telegram directly.

Everything runs through Bollard AI

Agents send their requests to Bollard AI, not to Telegram. Bollard AI checks each one against your rules and passes only the allowed requests through.

Denied by default

Every chat starts off-limits, and removing messages or people is held back on top of that. An agent gets in only where you've allowed it, and anything Bollard AI doesn't recognise is refused and held for review, never waved through on a guess.

Your keys stay sealed

Your Telegram keys are sealed in a vault unique to your company and never shown again. Bollard AI unlocks them only for the instant an allowed request needs it.

Activity you can read

Every attempt is recorded in plain English: who or which agent, what they tried, which chat or message, and the decision. The record is readable and can't be edited after the fact.

Questions

Telegram, answered.

Does connecting Telegram hand Bollard AI your whole account?+
Only the chats you add it to. The connection reaches the chats you allow, and that sets the most any agent could reach. Bollard AI doesn't browse or copy your chats. It sits in front of them and checks every request the agents make, passing or blocking each one.
Can an agent delete messages or remove members?+
Not unless you turn it on. Deleting messages and removing or banning members are held off by default, so an agent can post and read in the chats you allow without ever removing messages or people, until you explicitly allow it.
Can an agent see more than the person who owns it?+
No. An agent reaches only what its owner reaches. An explicit Off always overrides an inherited permission.
Where do our Telegram keys live?+
Sealed in an encrypted vault, behind a key unique to your company. It's never shown again once connected, and Bollard AI unseals it only for the instant an allowed request needs it.
What happens when an agent tries something it's not allowed to do?+
Bollard AI blocks the request before it reaches Telegram, and the blocked attempt lands in the activity record with the reason.
How do we connect Telegram?+
An admin connects the company's Telegram once. Bollard AI seals the connection and builds the list of chats to set rules for. From then on, all management happens in the Bollard AI dashboard.
